Do sibling names need to "match"?

I posted a thead about Corinne, which is currently top of our list for baby 4. Our other children have unusual ish edwardian names (think Agnes, Ernest, Edith, Mabel etc). Would Corinne stick out too much or does it really not matter?

My head says it doesn't matter but saying them all together, Corinne sounds a bit odd with the others.

I don't think they do as they are separate individuals. My DC have names from different cultures and they don't match but they are also very different personalities too.

I think they do, to a point.

Not saying you have to be a kardashian with all names starting with K, but for example Persephone, Ptolemy, Atticus and Dave would be weird.

As would Dave, Jim, Sarah and Montgomery.
